[EAN: 9781231187173], Neubuch, [PU: RareBooksClub], JOEL ASAPH ALLEN,AMERICAS,WORLD,NATURAL HISTORY, This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 106 pages. Dimensions: 9.7in. x 7.4in. x 0.2in.This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 Excerpt: . . . heavily margined externally with the color of the back. Below nearly the same color as above, sometimes a very little lighter, the feathers longitudinally marked with ochraceous; on the breast these marks are clear and distinct but pass posteriorly into mere shaft-streaks on the abdomen. Chin and throat white, the first unmarked, the feathers of the last with a fine lateral border of black or brownish black. Bill reddish brown of nearly the same color as the inner surface of the wings. Feet bluish black. Measurements. --Average of nine specimens: Wing, 3. 90; tail, 3. 50; curve of culmen, 2. 35. Smallest specimen: Wing, 3. 80; tail, 3. 40; curve of culmen, 2. 28. Largest specimen: Wing, 4. 00; tail, 3. 65; curve of culmen, 2. 40. Habitat. --Brazil. Remarks. --The variations shown by my series of nine specimens are apparently due to age alone, and consist mainly in the size and color of the longitudinal markings of the feathers, which in immature birds are less clearly defined and more ochraceous, and also in the intensity and richness of the general coloration. X. trochilirostris finds its nearest ally in X. venezuelensis Lafr. MS. , and it is very probable a large series of these birds, taken throughout their range, would show them to completely intergrade and perhaps connect them with other species of this genus. The material before me, however, is clearly referable to the two species as defined, and forces me to consider them distinct. As represented by my series, consisting of nine specimens of trochilirostris from Brazil, and ten specimens of venezuelensis, including Lafresnayes types, from Brazil, Venezuela, Bogota, Panama and Central America, trochilirostris may be at once distinguished from venezuelensis by its smaller bill, which rarely reaches 2. . . .
